This week is Poison Prevention week, so we will be sharing important information about different pet toxins all week - starting with chocolate! Chocolate contains toxic compounds called methylxanthines, including theobromine and caffeine. The more pure (darker) the chocolate, the higher the toxins. Just a small piece of dark chocolate may be enough to harm a small dog. The toxic dose for cats is even smaller, but cats are less prone to eating chocolate since they are unable to taste sweetness.
Once ingested by a dog (or cat), theobromines can cause vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, and in severe cases, death. Using information about your dog’s weight and the type and amount of chocolate your dog has ingested, we will be able to calculate whether the amount ingested is of concern or not. Keep the packaging from the chocolate that was ingested, as it may contain important information for this calculation.
If your dog has ingested chocolate or any other substance that you know or believe to be toxic, immediately phone us (or Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic if it is after hours – 416-784-4444), and we will tell you whether or not a visit to the clinic is required. If a dog has consumed a dangerous dose of chocolate, the faster you get to a clinic to induce vomiting, the better. Even if the chocolate was ingested up to 4-6 hours ago, it may still be possible to induce vomiting to get some of the chocolate out of their system.
However, once it has been digested, the toxic compounds from chocolate will take 4 days to work their way out of your dog’s system, and hospitalization and supportive care, including intravenous fluids may be required. In most cases, after appropriate treatment dogs will recover from chocolate ingestion and be no worse for wear. However in rare cases fatalities can occur, so keep your pets safe by always keeping chocolate and baked goods securely locked away!

The luck of the Irish came to the Fiddler's Dell over the St. Patrick's Day weekend, and many Irish eyes smiled as suds were flowing while a cheery atmosphere took hold of the pub. The establishment celebrated the festive Irish day with their annual party to bring a little bit of good will to all. Irish music blared through the house speaker system while guests celebrated the patron saint of Ireland. A special classic Irish menu was available for hungry patrons which consisted of Irish stew, shepherd's pie, and corned beef. Staff members did a wonderful job of taking care of the busy bar and were dressed in their most festive green attire!

At Broadway Arts Centre (BAC), it is their mission to provide a safe and encouraging environment for young artists to explore their creativity through the performing arts. With teachers of the highest certification, they offered exceptional instruction for children in singing, dancing, and acting during their March Break camp. At BAC, all children participants studied with highly certified teachers, seasoned professional artists, and instructors. Performance is at the heart of the BAC, and the performance opportunities involved were phenomenal. The camp helped to create confident young artists by bringing together their technical ability and artistic expression. Their school philosophy is to provide training in the three performing arts in a positive, creative, healthy, safe, fun, and professional environment. The March Break Camp definitely exemplified those core values.

Northern Karate Schools were established in 1972 by 9th Degree Black Belt and International Martial Arts Champion, Cezar Borkowski. Since its inception, Northern Karate has expanded to 15 locations in the metropolitan Toronto area.
